In Luck 



"In luck with the times," expresses our position exactly. 

 We were very fortunate in ordering: our stocic early enough 

 to have it arrive here before war brolce out in Europe. In 

 our warehouses a full line of florists' baskets of the latest 

 designs and finishes are waiting your order. Samples are 

 displayed in our salesrooms and you are invited to call 

 and inspect them. 



A Word About Prices 



It is not our intention to raise our prices as long as it is 

 possible to keep them down. Just as long as our line 

 remains unbroken you are entitled to the lowest price, 

 but when stock begins to shorten it will be necessary 

 to advance our prices. 



Send your order today for Christmas baskets. 



Remember — "In Luck with the Times" Both of us.

Through the State department at

 ceived word that E. F. Kurowski, presi-

A visitor at the office of The Review 

 last week was F. J. Olsan, of Ames, 

 la., on his way home from "Vienna. Mr. 



Olsan fortunately completed his two 

 months' trip through Europe in time to 

 escape the inconveniences that a num- 

 ber of the trade now abroad are expe- 

 riencing. 



T. E. Waters lost his pocketbook, 

 containing his money and return trip
